The Labyrinth at Knox

My Calgary writer-friend Diana and I meet every year when I travel west to celebrate my Aunty’s birthday. In 2018, Aunt Germaine turned 90, which is an amazing milestone.

Diana and I took some time on a glorious sunny day to walk the indoor labyrinth at Knox United Church in downtown Calgary. We walked barefoot in the cool dimness, isolated from the bustle outside, concentrating on the path of our steps. During the first walking meditation, we posed questions whose answers we sought. As we retraced our steps, we composed messages of gratitude and wonder. We departed the peaceful solitude lighter in spirit than when we began.

As we embark with hope on 2019, this prayer is a reminder for us as we start on our journey into the unknown.
